Xbox One news

We're big fans of what Numskull Designs have brought to market previously, but now they are looking to expand their Xbox range of goodies, all with a new Xbox Core design in tow.

It's the game that Xbox gamers have been calling out for, and finally a release window for Fall Guys on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S is confirmed. So, what are you planning on doing this summer?

We know that EA are at the top of the tree when it comes to sports simulations, and we know that they've done pretty well for themselves with other ventures too, notably titles like Titanfall and Apex Legends. We also know that Codemasters have absolutely dominated the racing games scene, providing players a host of great adrenaline-fuelled moments. Now though the two combine as Electronic Arts and Codemasters go about establishing themselves as a new global powerhouse for racing games.

We would happily have put our house on it, but confirmation is now here - Milestone Studios are getting ready to push out the most realistic MotoGP experience yet, as MotoGP 21 prepares to warm up its engines for release on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch and PC. And there's even a fully confirmed release date to bring the hype even more.

Italy - a land full of style, culture and fast motorbikes. Seems fitting then that the Italian based Milestone Studios are providing RIDE 4 players with the opportunity to embrace all three of those things in the RIDE 4 - Italian Style Pack 1, then.

Electronic Arts need no introduction and neither do Velan Studio, for it is they who were previously behind Mario Kart Live. Now though the two have teamed up to deliver a new dodgeball inspired team based multiplayer affair to Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch and PC - Knockout City.

While it took the enthralling 16-bit adventure Anodyne a number of years to reach the console shores, the sequel has materialized far quicker in comparison. That’s right, Analgesic Productions and Ratalaika Games have brought us a deeply personal lo-fi adventure in the form of Anodyne 2: Return to Dust. It’s going to combine 2D and 3D elements for a unique experience on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 and Nintendo Switch. Are you sufficiently intrigued?

Over the last few years the Xbox team have gone all out to ensure that us Xbox gamers are able to play a huge range of titles, no matter which console they originally released on. Backwards Compatibility is therefore a massive tool in the Xbox gamers' arsenal, no matter whether they are looking to head back and mop up some tasty achievements, or finally find the time available to spend with something that passed them by the first time around. With Xbox Series X|S though, that back-compat system is better than ever, especially now that Team Xbox have started the push of a new FPS Boost to a number of games.

Take a look at the official FIFA 21 Team of the Week #21, featuring Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after his hat-trick against Leeds United. These are available in Ultimate Team packs for one week on FIFA 21 from 17th February at 6pm. Is there anyone here you’d fancy adding to your team?

Forget World War 2, this is more Weird War 2 as a squad of damned soldiers prepare to unleash hell in Mad Devils. That’s the setup for the upcoming co-op twin-stick shooter from Itzy Interactive and it’s bringing its hellish twist to Xbox and PlayStation this summer. Want to know more about the antics you’ll get up to in Mad Devils?

It's all well and good taking your Xbox gaming experiences to the mobile scene, making the most of Xbox Game Pass, Project xCloud and the chance to play Xbox titles on your mobile phone. But what do you do with the audio? Well, a decent pair of earbuds is one option, but Fauna have another - stylish audio eyewear.

I believe it was Forza Motorsport 4 in 2011 that initially introduced me to the concept of a crossover involving cars and football. What a novel idea to have a kick about in a Porsche, I thought, however it does wear thin after a game or two. And then a few years later Psyonix, in 2016 to be exact, brought their rocket-powered car and ‘soccer’ hybrid over to the Xbox One. It’s such a gimmick that it’ll die off in no time. Imagine my surprise when Rocket League became an instant favourite, having clocked almost 80 full days of game time since then. So, yeah, five years after its launch I’d like to offer some insight into the addictive experience of Rocket League and how the phenomenal success also comes with a few downsides.

Over the years KontrolFreek have found a place in the gaming market with all manner of accessories. They are best known for a range of brilliant thumbstick additions, but in their product range are also the Precision Rings. And now, they've just launched their softest rings yet.

We’re not quite sure how they’ve managed it, but Sold Out (Big Crown: Showdown) and Stonewheat & Sons have announced a puzzler that looks to be just as utterly chaotic as it is adorably cute. The postal themed KeyWe is going to deliver mailroom mayhem this summer for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, and Nintendo Switch.

The retro-inspired RPG CrossCode impressed us last year with its sheer ambition to bring together a lot of great ideas. The folks at Deck13 look to add to the experience with the announcement of the first official piece of DLC in the form of A New Home. You can expect to see A New Home arrive for CrossCode on PC in February, while console gamers must wait a little longer until the summer to get involved.
